I suspect this will be my last tv contract with VM. Paying for a streaming box is daft.

They will be forced, similar to everyone being persuaded/forced off PSTN and onto VoIP. And you can't escape to Sky who will not keep a contract with SES forever for the satellites, with the focus now on Sky Stream and Sky Glass.
As for a streaming box: you have to pay for VM's Stream (and Sky's Stream) which provide a full range of live TV channels and VoD compared with the lesser offerings of all the other boxes.

Freely TV or box , and your "stick" of choice. Perhaps? If you need that at all ie smart TV

Re: TV360 - pro and cons
Think of apples (like VM and Sky) and pears (like Freely and Freeview). These are not the same, so it makes perfect sense to subscribe to Pay TV provided by VM and Sky if that is what you want.

Sorry don't really see it. However I guess it will depend on what you want from what will be a streaming provider, between a freely TV and using it's other smart choices for me it's all covered in fact when my box went down my smart TV provided everything I needed , more of a faff agreed, but I doubt virgin will make it simple  . Thinking it will be well worth it at a way lower price.

Re: TV360 - pro and cons
This is the key phrase: Pay TV. It's for those who pay to watch the premium content whilst Freely is free.
